The Fletcher Pilates Bridge Program

WHAT OUR ALUMNI ARE SAYING

"This Program has... raised the level of teaching in my studio tenfold"

 

This Program has transformed me into a competent, inspired and passionate teacher and has raised the level of teaching in my studio tenfold. It has taught me to be a conscious teacher, not an unconscious trainer. It has taught me to always be thinking “what does this client need and why do they need it?” Instead of looking at a list of exercises that never vary and picking 5 of them. It has taught me to think on my feet and to always be creative, within a structure. And finally it has given me an inkling of how far this work can go. I continue to be astounded by my teachers.

"I experienced an amazing transformation and rejuvenation in my teaching"

 

The Fletcher Program of Study is a phenomenal program that truly addresses all the needs of a teacher. It develops the teacher in the pursuit of learning personally, academically and professionally. After completing the program, I experienced an amazing transformation and rejuvenation in my teaching. It brought clarity to what I had been teaching and gave me a much broader working knowledge of the Pilates method. It challenged me to embrace the true responsibility of a teacher to pass this work on to students in a way that maintains the integrity in which it was created. I have not seen any other programs that offer the comprehensive quality that this program does. I would recommend this program to any serious and committed student or teacher who desires a thorough understanding of how and what it means to become a Pilates Teacher.

"a technically superior, impeccably run comprehensive program"

 

After 40+ years of athletics, 30+ years of top-to-bottom business experience and 7 years of studying classical Pilates with the industry elite and otherwise, I longed for work more refined in its physicality, more fully and clearly defined in its pedagogy and, in a business sense, vertically integrated for full service. I have found my home in the Fletcher Program of Study®, a technically superior, impeccably run comprehensive program that includes and enhances my classical background and is wholly dedicated to developing my unique movement and teaching potential.
